Effects of 50Hz Homogeneous Ferromagnetic Field on the Concentrations of Intracellular Calcium-ion of SNU Cells and Lymphma Cells In Vitro

Abstract

The study was designed to observe the effects of 50 Hz homogeneous ferromagnetic field (0.097T) exposure on change of intracellular Calcium-ion concentration of human low differentiation gastric adenocarcinoma cell line - SNU and lymphocytes in vitro. SNU cells and human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro were exposured to 50 Hz homogeneous ferromagnetic field at different time periods. Cells were harvested after magnetic field exposure. The concentration of intracellular Calcium-ion of cells in control and different experimental groups were measured with confocal microscope. The concentration of intracellular Calcium-ion of SNU cells and human peripheral blood lymphocytes were all increased after magnetic field exposure. 50Hz homogeneous ferromagnetic field exposure could induce increases of the concentration of intracellular Calcium-ion of SNU cells and human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro.
